But the Rev.

Mr. Edwards said that during the meeting on Tuesday, he had brought to their attention the possible effect their decision could have on voters. Carter, hearing of the church closing on the campaign trail in Texas, told reporters: only thing I know is that our church for many years has accepted any worshipers who came there, and my own deep belief is that anyone who lives in our community and who wants to be a member of our church, regardless of race, ought to be admitted.

Western Australia which comprises almost one-third of total area, is the largest state in Australia. NM always has voted Tight 7 on president CUT OUT HERE i ALBUQUERQUE (AP) In the fall of 1912 voters in the brand new state of New Mexico expressed a preference for Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States. Wilson won a minority victory.

For New Mexico, it was the start of what has become a tradition of always backing the winner in presidential elections. There have been 15 presidential elections since 1912. In each of these, New Mexico voters have given a plurality to the man who became president. There is no other state among the 50 which can claim this distinction. Arizona, which also became a state in 1912, had a record of backing winners until 1964, when it gave a majority to its native son, Barry Gold water, who lost to President Lyndon B.

Johnson. In several presidential elections, the margin of victory in New Mexico has been amazingly close to the national margin. In 1912, for instance, Woodrow Wilson won the presidency with 41.8 per cent of the popular vote nationwide. The race that year was between Wilson, incumbent Republican President William H. Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt, who was running on the Progressive ticket.

In New Mexico, Wilson received 41.4 per cent of the vote. In 1960, John F. Kennedy won a narrow victory over Richard Nixon with 49.7 per cent of the popular vote nationwide. In New Mexico, Kennedy won with 50.1 per cent of the vote, which was on .4 of a per cent off the national result. In 1972, Richard Nixon received a plurality in New Mexico the largest ever in the history.

Nixon received 61 per cent of the vote in New UJ OC UJ Mexico, which was only .3 of a per cent off the national result of 60.7 per cent. From 1912 through 1952 the names of the presidential candidates did not appear on the ballot in New Mexico. During that 40-year period, the names of each presidential electors appeared on the ballot instead of those of the candidates. This procedure was changed in 1956, when for the first time the names of the presidential and vice presidential candidates appeared on the ballot. This practice has been followed since.
